Race streak, that is. I've been doing the New Year's Day "race" since 2011; I ran this race before I'd even run my first half! First it got pushed from New Years Day to today due to the extreme cold on New Years Day. Turned out to be just as cold today, and despite the … Continue reading Another one bites the dust: 1/8- 14 Weekly Wrap

Short & Sweet: 1/1- 7 Weekly Wrap
Kind of like me. Still battling that on again off again low grade temp. I'm not sick enough to not work out, and not quite feeling good enough to work out as much as normal. There's the horrible crud that's been making the rounds that lasts for weeks, and thankfully mine is not that bad. … Continue reading Short & Sweet: 1/1- 7 Weekly Wrap
Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Or a Tale of Two Christmas Trees Or really three Christmas trees. Like much of the nation our temperatures quickly plummeted this week. And didn't budge. Just like forecast. Throw in some snow, and I was right about those treadmill runs. The good news is that by Tuesday I was feeling back to normal. Hopefully … Continue reading Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I was going along, running easy, and wham! On Tuesday I came down with some mild (thankfully) flu-like symptoms: extreme fatigue, mild muscle aches. I ran that day, but it was slow and quite frankly I probably shouldn't have, but I didn't realize that until I started to run. The odd thing was that after … Continue reading Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap
It was a much needed quiet week filled with treadmill runs, lots of cold, lots of wind, and a little more snow. Just enough to be annoying -- the kind that if I didn't shovel the driveway it would turn into an icy mess. Turns out even with my treadmill runs, icy mess was the … Continue reading Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap
Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
Last month of 2017. Last "race" of 2017. Nope, definitely not a PR this time, but it was snowing and slippery and we took our sweet time -- but we had a lot of fun. When I went to shovel the driveway this afternoon, I discovered just why it was so slippery -- it was … Continue reading Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
And just like that, 2017 is almost over. But it ain't over til the fat lady sings. You might just feel like the fat lady after Thanksgiving Shenanigans -- that's okay; holidays are meant to be enjoyed. But they're called holidays for a reason -- don't let one day stretch into an entire month. This … Continue reading The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
If all I did the previous week was clean, all I did this week was run the dishwasher! Seriously, it's surprising it didn't burn out (and it is still working fine months after not draining properly). In the past I've gone the paper plates and plastic cups route for Thanksgiving, but since I decided … Continue reading Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
I'd like to say it was a quiet week. I don't mind the cooking/baking for Thanksgiving, but the cleaning? How do you guys clean, work, and have a life? Seriously. It felt like all I did was clean this week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to show that … Continue reading Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Angry Running: 11/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Man, Winter blew in with a vengeance this week; even a little white stuff fell from the sky as the temps plummeted . . . just in time for my 15k.. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to show how I get it done even when it's frigid! Workouts update … Continue reading Angry Running: 11/6-12 Weekly Wrap
